Salary/Wage Administration

The County of Newell has permanent, seasonal and term employees. Employees are paid by direct deposit on a bi-weekly basis.

Permanent employees are paid a salary or an hourly wage. Salary employees are placed on a six-step grid according to their skills, knowledge, and education. Salaries are adjusted annually based on the council approved Cost of Living Allowance.

Hourly permanent employees have a four step wage grid which is adjusted periodically based on the council agreed Cost of Living Allowance.
